Making Decisions

Yoopersoft and DecisionPlanner exist because we want to help people make better decisions.

What makes it so difficult to make a good decision? One of the reasons is that we were never really taught how to make a good decision. Decision making and problem solving processes are not directly addressed in most schools.

Our culture values decisive and fast decision making. Make a decision with your gut and do it quickly. The media portrayal of decision making shows people making decisions on the fly – with no apparent analysis or time taken to ponder the various alternatives. This is not how effective people make good decisions.

A structured and thorough process (available from DecisionPlanner) is very valuable for the more important and significant decisions you face. It doesn’t have to be long and tedious – it can still be a quick process, but taking the time to use a structured approach will result in better decisions.
